Chapter 1136 The New God Emperor

The ancestral temple shone brightly, shaking heaven and earth, and resonating with the people who had the blood of the Ding family flowing in their bodies. This strange phenomenon was clearly a sign that the ancestral temple had been activated by the blood of the Ding family’s heir.

Moreover, this strange phenomenon was so magnificent that it was enough to show that Ding Hao’s bloodline was extremely pure. In the past few decades, there had never been such a large-scale change in the ancestral temple. Over the past few years, because the Fake God Emperor was not a member of the Ding family and his bloodline was not pure, other Divine Sons or the son of the Fake God Emperor, Ding Tong, had opened the ancestral temple on his behalf. However, the ancestral temple had never shown such a strong reaction as it did now.

Ding Hao was definitely a descendant of the Ding family of the Divine Clan, which was why his bloodline could be so powerful.

All of a sudden, the leaders of the various forces in the dark looked even more gloomy.

!!

“With his powerful strength and extremely pure bloodline power, he is simply the best candidate for the God Emperor. How could anyone compete with him? This man out of the blue seems to be simply impeccable!”

Ding Xingjin gnashed his teeth and knelt on the ground, unable to get up.

Even though Ding Hao had left, the power left here was still firmly suppressing Ding Xingjin, which made him even more shocked. It made him understand how big the gap was between him and the young man. In addition, the earth-shattering strange phenomenon in the ancestral temple had already made Ding Xingjin feel a little desperate.

No matter how reckless and impulsive he was, he knew that he could not afford to fight for the throne.

He was not the only one who couldn’t afford to fight for it. There were probably only a few people in the entire Divine Capital who could compete with the young man named Ding Hao.

Ding Xingjin gradually calmed down and his mind became clear. He began to realize that he had taken the wrong step today. The other major forces in the Divine Capital did not stand out but came here to test the waters. They regarded him as a pawn that had been sacrificed.

When Ding Xingjin thought this, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

In this way, once Ding Hao really ascended the throne in the future, he would rule God’s Palace and dominate the Eastern Continent. Ding Xingjin would probably be a stepping stone. With his attitude toward Ding Hao today, he might bring himself a fatal disaster in the future.

Ding Hao was in the main hall of the ancestral temple.

The towering and magnificent sword tower with a dome was not very tall, only about 12 meters high. It was like a palace in the medieval period. Its style was completely different from that of the buildings in the Divine Capital or on the Eastern Continent. It looked round and full, like a small light cyan hill. Inside an ancient stone gate, an altar lamp was lit, and its fragrance was lingering, making the ancestral temple hall look solemn and dignified.

The interior of the main hall was slightly dim.

Ding Hao did not sense any inscription tactical deployment here.

On the four walls of the main hall, there were small caves similar to Buddhist shrines. In each small cave, there was a bottle of ashes and a memorial tablet. This was the place where the ashes of all the core members of the Ding family who died after the establishment of God’s Palace were placed. When Ding Hao looked carefully, he found that there were at least thousands of urns densely arranged here, which meant that at least thousands of important members of the Ding family had died.

Ding Hao was a little surprised by this number.

Although the Ding family was a big family, there were not many core members of the royal family. It had been nine generations of God Emperors since the establishment of God’s Palace, including the Fake God Emperor, which meant that the ancestral temple had been passed down for nine generations. There were about hundreds of core members in each generation, but there were more than a thousand urns here, which meant that almost all the core members had died.

In this world, true experts could live for more than a thousand years. It was a bit strange that the core members didn’t survive.

If Saint-level experts died within 800 years and Semi God Realm experts died within 1,000 years, most of them didn’t have a good ending and died an unnatural death. As far as Ding Hao knew, more than 80% of the nine generations of the Ding family’s core royal members were in the Saint Realm, and nearly 100 of them had reached the Semi God Realm.

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be strange for these people to have lived until now.

But why did they all turn to ashes?

Ding Hao’s eyes swept over these marked urns and saw several most eye-catching Buddhist shrines in the south. The urns in them were much more exquisite and conspicuous than the others. The golden memorial tablets represented the ashes of the previous God Emperors.

“Even all the previous God Emperors have passed away?”

Ding Hao sighed with emotion.

All the God Emperors were outstanding talents of their times. Even the Supreme Masters in the God Realm could not get away from death. Ding Hao had guessed before that the supreme masters of God’s Palace had given up their thrones and lived in seclusion to cultivate because they were tired of power and influence. They had devoted themselves to the way of eternal martial arts cultivation.

He didn’t expect that they had all died.

“Hmm… that’s not right. A memorial tablet is missing… There isn’t the old God Emperor’s memorial tablet here… It makes sense that the Fake god emperor’s tablet isn’t here, but there’s no old God Emperor’s tablet… Could it be that he is still alive?”

Ding Hao furrowed his brows.

There was no memorial tablet of the old God Emperor, which meant that he was not dead yet. But if that was the case, where had this hero who had once ruled God’s Palace all these years gone? Even if he had lived in seclusion, it was impossible for him to leave no trace for more than 20 years.

The great change in God’s Palace seemed to be a battle between the Eldest Divine Prince and the 13th Divine Prince, but the hidden giant was also a formidable being. After all, it was said that he had personally defeated the Eldest Divine Prince. Otherwise, the Fake God Emperor would not have been able to take the throne so easily.

It didn’t make sense for him to help his adopted son instead of his biological son. It was hard to figure out why he did that.

This person was full of mysteries, but after the great change back then, he mysteriously disappeared as if he had never existed before.

“Could it be that he has been killed by the Fake God Emperor and died without a burial place? That’s why he didn’t enter the ancestral temple… That’s impossible. Even if the Fake God Emperor slayed the king before he ascended the throne, he couldn’t violate the ancestral system!”

Ding Hao didn’t quite understand.

Ding Xinghua and the others stood behind Ding Hao, and their excited hearts gradually calmed down. What flowed within Ding Hao’s body was Ding Shengtan’s blood, the purest blood of the God Emperor’s lineage. Moreover, Ding Hao had the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword. It was expected that he could trigger such an abnormal phenomenon in the ancestral temple.

The strange phenomenon in the ancestral temple caused the winds and clouds in the Divine Capital to brighten.

Since Ding Hao had the most powerful strength and the purest bloodline, the position of the God Emperor could be determined in advance. Others were no longer qualified to compete with Ding Hao for it.

Everything in God’s Palace was finally coming to an end.

At the thought that under the leadership of such a powerful figure as Ding Hao, the God’s Palace would soon get out of the chaos caused by the death of the Fake God Emperor and rule over the Eastern Continent again, any member of the Ding family would be crazy with excitement.

The Ding family’s glory would not end.

Instead, it would be even more glorious.

After some simple etiquette procedures, Ding Hao and the others turned around and left the ancestral temple.

At this point, Ding Hao’s identity had been completely confirmed.

When they arrived at the periphery of the ancestral temple, there was already a dark mass of people waiting for them. In addition to Ding Xingjin and the others, who were still kneeling on the ground with dispirited looks, there were also a large number of strange faces. All of them looked at Ding Hao and the others with complicated expressions.

Seeing Ding Hao and others come out, a large number of them knelt on their knees.

“Greetings to the new God Emperor!”

Someone called out loudly.

These people had been watching, waiting for the most suitable candidate to appear so that they could make an investment, but what happened today was enough for them to bet. The news that Ding Xinghua and others were going to promote Ding Hao to the top was known to all. His powerful strength, the praise of the senior Divine Princes, and his purest divine blood were all displayed. After today’s events, Ding Hao’s promotion was simply unstoppable.

In that case, people might as well recognize Ding Hao’s throne immediately.

They believed that the earlier they made a choice at this time, the higher their status and power would be in the new Divine Palace since a new emperor would have his own courtiers.

Of course, there were also a few others who had the same idea as Ding Xingjin and had participated in the competition for the throne. At this time, they had no choice but to kneel. It was extremely embarrassing and they had no way to back down. As rebellious courtiers, they didn’t know what would happen to them if Ding Hao really became the emperor.

Seeing this, Ding Xinghua knew that it was the right time and he could not miss it. He immediately took a step forward and shouted loudly, “It’s clear who the God Emperor is now. It’s time for you to kneel and pay your respects!”

His voice reverberated in everyone’s ears like rolling thunder.

Some people shivered and quickly knelt.

Ding Xingjin let out a long sigh. Knowing that the great change was destined, the last trace of hope in his heart disappeared. He knelt respectfully in the same place and no longer resisted the suppressive power. He said loudly, “Greetings to Your Majesty.”

His shout made the last few people who were still standing around him finally kneel and prostrate themselves in front of Ding Hao. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. Everyone’s hearts were filled with peace. The competition for the God Emperor’s position was about to be completely settled at this moment.

Ding Hao took a look at Ding Xingjin.

The man’s previous arrogance appeared even more ridiculous at this time. No wonder the two peerless geniuses of God’s Palace could suppress others. Not to mention Ding Shengtan, Bai Wuji, and the others, Ding Xingjin was far inferior to even the Divine Sons like Ding Xingxue and Ding Xingmu.

The rule of the Fake God Emperor over the years had destroyed too many people’s morale and vitality. If people like Ding Xingjin really had courage and uprightness, they would have rebelled and resisted. However, they had been struggling to survive under the control of the Fake God Emperor for so many years and had not taken any action. They would only dare to show up and make trouble after the Fake God Emperor died.

This type of person bullied the weak and feared the strong. They had long lost the qualifications to fight over the throne.

Unfortunately, they weren’t even aware of it.

Ding Hao did not take this kind of person seriously.

He looked back at the ancestral temple and the divine mountain, and then at the beautiful Divine Capital at the mountain foot. He took a deep breath, and his slightly hesitant and confused eyes gradually became clear and determined.

Then, he said word by word, “From today on, I will be the God Emperor.”

These words rumbled through the entire Divine Capital, reminiscing in the ears of every citizen. Ding Hao’s powerful strength had been undoubtedly revealed at this moment. His voice was like an unquestionable god’s, making everyone who heard this involuntarily worship him.

Along with his words, the entire divine mountain and the ancestral temple started to tremble.

This was their response to Ding Hao’s words.

The Divine Capital and the divine mountain had their own spirit. Once the new emperor was made, they would respond. It was obvious that Ding Hao’s will had been recognized by this world. At the top of the divine mountain, a divine bell began to vibrate. The melodious bell broke the limits of time and space, not only echoing in the Divine Capital but also spreading in all directions.

Soon, the entire Eastern Continent could hear such a clear and majestic bell ringing.

Most people didn’t understand what the bell meant.

However, the expressions of many great powers and experts changed.

“This is the sign of a new God Emperor!”

“I don’t know which branch’s Divine Son has inherited the throne.”

“Humph. A new God Emperor. I wonder how powerful he is. Can he unify the collapsed God’s Palace?”
